Understanding Time Dilation: Exploring Einstein's Theory with Basic Math

[petm1]

Motion is the change, more motion gives us time dilation and I do not believe the deeper we travel into gravity well gives us more motion, it gives us less, hence time contraction. It "looks" the same as time dilation but it is not, can we put it is a graph to compare it to time dilation, yes. I wrote it out as a proportional equation, (LC/TC<meter/second<LD/TD) if you think of light being a twist we see all the time, then for more motion we see objects as LC/TD and for less motion we feel and see them as LD/TC.

Does this view hold for a full range of numbers in our equation, well when we are talking about motion I think it does, the more motion away makes things appear to follow LC/TD things appear to contract getting smaller as they move away with little change to their time till their speed get high enough, what about the other side, as things get closer and their speeds slow to match ours they do appear to get larger LD/TC, and as their speed matches our Earth's their time does appear to contract the deeper they go into the gravity well.

petm1, this isn't the forum for you to be talking about your own personal theories (and your ideas seem too vague anyway--can you explain how 'length dilation' or 'time contraction' would be measured on actual physical rulers and clocks?). If you have questions about relativity that's fine, if you wish to construct your own alternatives you should submit to the Independent Research forum.

Well said, JesseM. And on that note, I think it's time to close this thread.
